"Hello beautiful, how's it going? I hear it's wonderful in California. I've been missing you, it's true."

"It's getting late, ama, and we have to go. See you tomorrow."
He gave me a tight hug before exiting the room, and leaving Nick alone with me for a moment.Nick kissed my cheek gently, and I smiled.
"G'night, Froboy."
"G'night, ama."
